age and a prosperous oilDiamond merchant had in our Bank the
sum of $35.5million in a domiciliary account.
Unfortunately, he was killed in 2002 plane crash
involving con! cord AF4590 in Gonesse, France. Efforts had
been made by the management of my bank through the German
Embassy in johannesburg to contact any of the deceased
children but to no avail,as we were made to understand he
had no children.Given the skeletal information available to
the bank, it has so far been impossible to reach any of the
relatives.
The situation left for the Management is to declare the
deceased account dormant and revert the Amount to trading on
behalf of the interest of the Bank.
